T-Rex: I learnt a new phrase today!
T-Rex: "Intellectual terrorism!"
T-Rex: I first thought it was a ridiculous phrase, both on its own and with all the phrases it suggested, like "emotional terrorism" and "pseudo-intellectual terrorism". But if ideas are powerful, then maybe you can terrorize someone with them! Maybe? Then again, "intellectual terrorism" comes very close to saying that ideas I disagree with or find distasteful are wrong, and worse, damaging and weaponized. Whatever, intellectual terrorism!
Utahraptor: How'd you hear a phrase like that?
T-Rex: In just the way you'd think!
T-Rex: Someone didn't like what they were reading, so they defined its contents as "terrorism". I think they were serious.
Utahraptor: It does sort of suggest that if someone said just the right words to you, you'd become instantly paralyzed with a life-shattering fear!
Narrator: BACKSTORY: SUCH A PHRASE EXISTS FOR T-REX, AND PEOPLE HAVE COME CLOSE TO SAYING IT IN THE PAST:
Off panel: The special is chicken masala with rice.
T-Rex: I AM DEFINITELY FLIRTING WITH FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW!!
